Choosing Cabinetry for Your Kitchen

If you are in the midst of choosing new cabinetry for your kitchen, you will want to keep in mind of all of the different types of cabinets that are available before you make your final decision. There are four primary types of cabinets which are:

* Base – These types of cabinets are 24 inches deep and are 36 inches in height. There are some that have a depth of 27 inches if they are custom-made.

* Wall – These are mounted on the wall and are considered to be upper cabinetry and is about 12 inches deep. These can be both custom and semi-custom applications.

* Tall – Tall cabinets are about 83 inches in height and can be used for both broom and pantry storage.

Quality Grades for Cabinets

Cabinets are traditionally grouped into four different grade levels when it comes to construction. These are ready-to-assemble, semi-custom, custom, and stock. You will need to make sure that you keep your budget in mind before you make your decision on which grade you would like for your kitchen cabinets. When it comes to prices for cabinetry, you will be charged by lineal feet and the costs for installation will be billed separately. Make sure you look for construction that is sound regardless of the type of grade you are looking to purchase.

Custom and Semi-Custom

If you choose custom or semi-custom cabinetry, then you will have a lot of different materials to choose from. Semi-custom cabinetry will allow for different size adjustments and will provide you with a better quality cabinet construction. These types of cabinetry require special orders so that they can be altered if you prefer increase depth. When you choose semi-custom cabinetry you can expect to have many styles to choose from and many other decorative enhancements.

Custom cabinetry is made-to-order and offers the most diversity when it comes to material, finishes, style, and accessories. You can have a one of a kind piece of cabinetry in your kitchen that can fit any type of space that you have available. Even though it can quickly exhaust your budget, it is a good option if you want something truly unique.
